Saudi biographical dictionary lists 1544 writers
The article revolves around the release of the "Dictionary of Saudi Authors," which documents over 150 years of literary activity in the Kingdom and includes 1,544 writers—both male and female. The compilation took ten years to complete, relying on the review of more than 9,000 books and references, with a focus on accurately documenting information such as name, place and date of birth, educational background, awards, and publications. The project faces challenges in reaching some authors, especially those who prefer solitude or refuse to be included, along with the difficulty of classifying authors with multiple disciplines. The researcher indicates that Saudi literature is currently experiencing a golden age, accompanied by expanding institutions and initiatives. It is also noted that the movement of writing and publishing exceeds 700 titles annually, with more than 1,500 personalities documented in the dictionary.
